State Of The Watch Collection 2020 SOTC

[@Reinindiereuse]

You're doing this wrong. you're supposed to show a Rolex Explorer, Rolex Submariner, Rolex Datejust, Omega Speedmaster and then some random Seiko 5s that your buddy gave you. JK, amazing and unique collection. Loved seeing it.

[@PeterKotsa]

I loved your comment even more, beautifully said, made me laugh 😆 Cheers

[@whatsinanameish]

My heart went all pitter-patter for the bullhead chrono.

[@Gilles-yn6np]

Very unique collection I love it. I have a crush on your red Seiko 😍👍🏻

[@PeterKotsa]

Good choice! I love wearing it

[@joytekb]

One of the best if not the best watch collection I have seen in YT.

[@Great-Scott]

A very classy collection and one of my favorites of all THE 2020 SOTC videos I've seen.

[@PeterKotsa]

Thank you Scott, I’m humbled 🙏

[@SwissWatchGang]

Awesome collection, very personal. 👏

[@PeterKotsa]

Thank you kindly

[@simoneravenda5252]

Stunning stunning collection, the vintage chocolate bullhead is a superb catch, when that dial will grow older it will became simply stunning

[@FitOutPost]

I like how you sprayed water on your Christopher Ward and Seiko Turtle. Looks awesome! Subscribed.

[@PeterKotsa]

Thank you and welcome aboard 👍

[@mikeklaus2992]

Nice collection, and also nice to hear you've even got some vostoks hiding away there. What was refreshing was that you didn't need to include a rolex.

[@Malvo0ovlaM]

Exactly what i thought, i was like "and not a rolex in sight"- I am very new to the hobby, but i quickly got tired of the Rolex name drop, especially when there are such beautiful and amazing pieces out there! Very nice and refreshing.

[@jball1975]

Awesome Bubble Turtle. Thanks for sharing some of your collection.

[@PeterKotsa]

Thanks for watching John, cheers

[@onerider54]

Very unique bubble turtle, how did you get this done?

[@lelimitededition4219]

The sirloin you have beautiful and really great story that you started your channel with that watch, very cool. Love the red band in Oris and love the retro look of you Oris dial. Really unique. Never seen the seiko bull before cool 😎. Omega on the bracelet look amazing, love the Tudor too very glad you didn’t go for the usual 57 that everyone has. You need to have a unique collection like yours and not like everyone else. Love your reissue seiko looks so 1970 groovy man, omega aqua Terra looks classy. Good collection mate. Good one 👍

[@PeterKotsa]

cheers 🙏

[@pavolslamka988]

One of the nicest collections I have every seen. It shows great taste instead of shouting a show off. Thanks a lot!

[@PeterKotsa]

Thank you Pavol, I think building a healthy collection is a journey of what suits us rather than what others say you should’ have 😇 Thanks again

[@shawnmohamed6034]

Peter’s strap game is ridiculous! Love it!

[@PeterKotsa]

Cheers

[@jnrjnr77]

Wow! An amazing collection 😍 congratulations and thanks for sharing 👍

[@PeterKotsa]

My pleasure, thanks for watching cheers

[@Builtbypete]

I love the Seiko Bullhead at 4:47 into the video. I have one of these now and I agree with you its such a wearable watch. I think of all my watches this one gets worn the most!

[@SuperWils2010]

Great collection Peter. Enjoyed the backstory behind your love for each one.

[@PeterKotsa]

Cheers 👍

[@curtisoular]

Great combination of watches! That sky dome and the bull head could make it in my watch box also! Very nice time pieces!

[@michaelgoodwin7375]

You have a fantastic collection there! Great taste. Love that Oris.

[@anthonyorlando1861]

Very nice Peter your collection is down to earth .

[@PeterKotsa]

Cheers Anthony 🙏

[@AvgJoeWatchReviews]

I agree with you on logo at 9. Makes them unique.

[@NICAsworld]

Cool original picks. A collection that has personality, I admire that, as you see so many having the same ones. I can see you are not a bracelet guy. The Christopher Ward, for the vintage vibe, and the Seiko S-Wave, for the quirkiness, are my favorites.

[@yaaxarr8977]

Wonderful 8 mostly worn watches !!! Thank you so much for sharing Peter !! Please stay safe with you beloved ones.

[@PeterKotsa]

You too 🙏

[@randybartlett5820]

I like the Omega Aqua Terra the best. Perfect watch. Looks great on that strap.

[@larsstougaard7097]

A great footprint on his wrist as he said, love dresswatches

[@canonyeo4286]

Yes, Peter, buy watches to enjoy and have fun. Can see that in your excellent collection. Man, that turtle is out of the world. Seeing that reminds me of a single hand watch with the same dome glass made in China with a vintage look. I will now buy this watch. I like the red s wave. I have one with the same case shape with a cream dial and the whole lumes.

[@PeterKotsa]

Great stuff 👍 As for the S Wave good to hear you have that variant, I’ve never seen that in the flesh..enjoy 👍👍👍

[@canonyeo4286]

@@PeterKotsa ya, l don't see another of the s wave too, like yours.

[@scanspeak00]

Awesome collection. If there's one thing that comes across in your videos it's you passion for watches, especially those with, as you say, personality. My favourite is that Oris on red leather.

[@frederick4929]

Great collection! Especially the ORIS Diver 65 with the red strap, like it.

[@MrBeard-et1yi]

That sky dome is awesome on the turtle but my favorite was the bullhead by far. Great collection

[@PeterKotsa]

Thanks Chris Cheers

[@saintsmccastle3521]

Hello. Nice collection.....if I had to choose only one...I would definitely choose that Seiko Bullhead...beautiful!. Cheers.

[@thisoldbelair]

Lovely collection, thanks for sharing. Can definitely see your overall aesthetic and personality in this collection. Well curated. Cheers from the USA 🤜🤛

[@scottowl75]

love the omega"s and the seiko"s , i'm going to have to get one of those racing straps for my speed timer .

[@RakeshKumar-fs6xl]

Christopher ward I'd think the most beautiful and elegant one among the lovely collection...just pure wow on the asthetics...❤️

[@daintiestquarters3411]

The Seiko bullhead is the winner. Great video.

[@phillipedwards420]

Wow! What a top 8! A really well thought out and balanced collection.

[@KarenLopez-vk3ny]

Excellent top eight. Love your taste in watches. And the strap pairings are absolutely spot on. 😎 Keep up the great videos.

[@PeterKotsa]

Thanks 🙏

[@joshuavalentin9191]

Wah i looove your collection ! Clearly pieces that you took for their aspects, story or mouvment and not the brand ! I love all of your top 8, i wa't them all !!

[@kccarl7447]

Thanks for sharing Peter. Nice set of time peices in the top eight.

[@PeterKotsa]

Cheers

[@dantrelford3371]

Enjoyed your collection - reminds me that the Seiko bullhead is such a great design. I also liked your comments on your ideal number of watches - ever changing of course, some stay, some go but the fascination continues

[@PeterKotsa]

Thank Dan, I find I am happier sticking to a limited number of watches I can control and enjoy Cheers

[@ZedEnd83]

This collection was so beautifully shot, I wasn't surprised that you're a professional photographer. And your strap game is incredible, wish you talked more about how you chose/paired the straps to the watches.

[@PeterKotsa]

Ok cool, I’ll consider it for future videos Cheers

[@markstanton63]

Lovely collection ... Thank's for sharing

[@blairscott4678]

That is a very cool collection I must say. All of them are unique.

[@PeterKotsa]

Cheers

[@raulgm6281]

Very nice collection Pete... I like the most the Oris 65 and the omega aquaterra. And also what a beautiful sporty leather straps. Congrats Pete. Thanks for sharing

[@PeterKotsa]

Many thanks!

[@captbumbler5356]

Very nice watches , I like the Seiko Turtle with it's sky dome mod and the S wave.. I like 38mm watches. thank you for sharing

[@PeterKotsa]

Cheers

[@flemmingsorensen5470]

What a cracking collection👍 But that Bullhead is the winner for me - WOW !!!

[@PeterKotsa]

I love it too 😎👍

[@stevekingswell9143]

Nice selection. You clearly like back dials. They do look good.

[@AliAdibiii]

Very tasteful and nice watch collection! Congratulations :)

[@PeterKotsa]

Thank you kindly and thanks for watching

[@robpettay3726]

Probably one of my favorite collections! Love the ORIS!

[@PeterKotsa]

🙏

[@timford3599]

Peter; Very nice collection and presentation. I particularly like your Seiko SRPC 773 Turtle. You've really made a standout by modding it with the Sky Dome crystal. It's very smart looking and well thought out by making sure that it's overtly exposed height is protected by making sure the mod is sapphire for extra hardness to keep it safe from scratches AND a tasteful blue AR coating, to boot! I would place this time piece high my rotation. Thank you for sharing your tasteful collection.

[@PeterKotsa]

Many thanks Tim, yes I agree for some reason this turtle has been getting a lot of wrist time, even since its inception..I love it. cheers

[@MrShinobi797]

Impressive collection Peter ...THANKS for sharing. Loving the Seiko Models. 👌🏽

[@drwindsurf]

These 10 watches are each awesome watches in their own right. Thank you for sharing Peter, it is always cool see other peoples collections 😊👍

[@PeterKotsa]

Thanks for watching and I agree Jeffrey, I enjoy seeing what others are into as well and what inspires them cheers

[@balazsgalambos4458]

Awesome collection,beautiful strap selections there.thank you for sharing

[@PeterKotsa]

My pleasure and thanks for the comments, cheers

[@seumasrouse8590]

Great collection and great taste in your choice of watch straps. The first watch I remember buying was the Bullhead, being young and stupid I wore it to death. I dearly wish I still had it. Thanks for the video and sharing some of your collection 👍🏼

[@PeterKotsa]

Oh what a shame about the bullhead, but on a positive note at least you enjoyed it to death 👍

[@spiltespresso4761]

Another top notch video mate. Beautiful current top 8 + 2. The SBDC051 and the Omega Speedmaster Panda would be my top 2 of the 8. Great stuff legend.

[@PeterKotsa]

👍

[@kingofdrum1]

Amazing and inspiring collection!!! Congratulations Peter!!!

[@PeterKotsa]

Thank you Alex Cheers!

[@hunwa425]

Extremely nice top 10. What an inspiration

[@watchandknife4591]

that sky dome on that turtle is insane! I love it and might have to mod one of my turtles!

[@AlexanderB.]

Hiya Pete! What a fabulous collection of watches, my favorite of which are the Oris 65 😍 and the Omega Aqua Terra 😍. But I like everyone of it! Cheers mate!

[@PeterKotsa]

Thanks Alex 👍

[@CanadianBeachcomber]

I would wear that Oris 65 every day. It’s on my wish list.

[@Mark-fb9zo]

Great collection. I absolutely love your moded Seiko Turtle, that sky dome crystal is fantastic. I thought my O&W C-1000 had a great domed crystal until I saw that, brilliant. 😁👍

[@PeterKotsa]

Thanks Mark, I love it and wear it heaps..you end up looking INTO the dial and it is amazing.. cheers

[@MyAlan999]

Truly fantastic collection of 8 Peter :) Both Omega's , the Seiko SBDC051 and the Oris 65 are just amazing as are them all :)

[@pdmotors5027]

The Bullhead nails it for me, although of the other watches, none of them are too shabby. A nice collection Peter.

[@deannoble673]

Interesting collection beautifully described. Keep up the good work Peter.

[@PeterKotsa]

Thank you 🙏

[@hichambenmira]

You have a really beautiful collection of watches. What I do like it the fact they are different price points and different styles. Nice video Peter 👍😊😊

[@PeterKotsa]

Thanks, the top 8 is ever evolving, however I am happy the direction it is taking 👍

[@VenerableYorge]

What a watch collection Peter. You are a lucky men, indeed. Thank for show us. I enjoyed a lot! 👍

[@PeterKotsa]

My pleasure, cheers

[@rorando8704]

Peter this is wonderfull, hopefully to see more of your collection! I remember when u share the turtle back then was hoping it was in this video and it did. It looks wonderful

[@PeterKotsa]

I wear that turtle quite a bit, so it made the cut 👍

[@respectablylate3081]

Hi PK, brand new to your channel and enjoyed the SOTC. I believe we have somewhat similar tastes. Whilst I started collecting Invictas with some mates ( I have about 100) my taste in timepieces has evolved. My grails, in the short term, have been purchased and my new grails are in place. My first "luxury" piece was the Tag Aquaracer in blue. I then decided to collect/own at least 2 of each brand. So... 2 Oris, one is the Aquis, a Tag Formula 1 ceramic, a Longines Hydroconquest (red bezel) and Conquest, the Omega Seamaster 300 (black bezel Bond), a few Tissot- T-race, T-touch, Seastar, Visodate and a V8, Rado ceramic, 2 Roamers, Squale, 3 Stuhrling, 2 Victorinox, 2 Swiss Legends, 2 Zodiacs, a few Swoles, 2 Wegner, a few Swatches, 2 Swiss Miltary and a number of fun watches. A few Bulovas, Orients, Seikos, Citizens, and Casios (a few G shocks) I've been collecting a little over 2 years and I know how addictive this hobby can be. I said I would stop at 200. Very close to that ATM. Kelvin, Sydney

[@PeterKotsa]

Wow nearly 200 that’s huge I got to 65 watches in January and I decided to filter out those which weren’t getting any wrist time. I am now down to around 30 watches and a little saner lol

[@faisalingalong]

Great selection there buddy. Always love seeing SOTCs.

[@PeterKotsa]

Thanks 👍

[@elavancin2913]

Beautiful watches! My fav was the seiko 62mas reissue. Wow and excellent content!

Lovely collection, so cool. There aren't any I couldn't say I could own too. Really connected to your taste. Congrats, you just got a new subscriber!

[@MC-yh9bw]

Nice collection Pete. Love the vintage vibe you have going. Thanks for sharing. Really dig the bullhead.

[@PeterKotsa]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@curious5557]

Nice collection - thanks for sharing.

[@bronco1199]

Love your taste!!! I almost threw my Citizen Bullhead on today, such a polarizing design. I love all your watches but 7 and 8 are my favs. The Aqua Terra is the perfect one watch collection. Cheers Peter i really enjoy your content.

[@salembeeman370]

Awesome collection. The Oris hurt my eyes though. Those numerals really are out there.

[@PeterKotsa]

Thanks Fred, as for the Oris, maybe invest in some sunglasses..LOL On a serious note though it is not as pronounced in the flesh as it is in the photos/video...it actually suits the watch and its overall look. Cheers

[@timmcdonald5335]

Pete lovely collection. Now that my Cats team has gone down tonight at least I can comfort myself with my watch collection.

[@peterashton5941]

Many thanks for sharing your love of watches with us. Great collection and your watch box looked great too 👍🏼

[@jeffreybowden9835]

Thoroughly enjoyed your collection and especially the production. Great camera work. A new subscriber.

[@PeterKotsa]

Welcome aboard and glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@KarthikGRisKGR]

What....Seiko bullhead.....never heard or seen one of these. This is the most unique and versatile watch collection I have ever seen.

[@SamYuri]

Pretty cool watches that Brown Seiko is what catch me the most

[@draj9]

I hope you do another great video for your favorite straps, thanks man & great show.

[@PeterKotsa]

Ok cool, I will get into it soon.. cheers

[@enriquesotocastro7080]

[@karlroberts580]

Nice collection Peter. My favourites were the Oris 65, the omega Aqua Terra and the Tudor. Very nice indeed and you’ve kept them immaculate. Nice strap choices too👍

[@PeterKotsa]

Many thanks Karl, I tend to look after my watches even though I use them sparingly cheers

[@julianmoriati4682]

A gorgeous top 8! My favorite is the Oris. I still hope to purchase this one somewhere in the future.

[@PeterKotsa]

Its one of my most versatile pieces..I love it too.. cheers

[@morgan97475]

Very nice collection. Agree with you about the CW logo at 9.....distinctive. I hope they don't change it. I love the strap on the Speedmaster.

[@benwestlake4778]

Great collection 👌 its clear that you buy the watches YOU like and not what you think others will approve of. This is one of the first sotc I've seen where I have not heard of some of the watches. Its the first video I have seen of yours and just subscribed. I look forward to seeing more.

[@PeterKotsa]

Thanks Ben, I appreciate the feedback. I believe every watch collection should be based around ones personality and taste 👍 PS welcome aboard

[@iangraham705]

Really lovely selection of pieces that is clearly a reflection of what you like rather than what you think you should buy. You should definitely do a further video showing the rest

[@PeterKotsa]

Thanks Ian, I think a collection should reflect exactly that, the watches YOU love ..period. As for the rest of the watches, I will see how I go...thanks mate cheers

[@watchtock8818]

Awesome snippet of your collection. My faves in that bunch would have to be the Oris 65 and Omega Speedmaster.

[@edteach3r]

This is a spectacular collection, Peter. Well done! Would you please consider doing a “full” collection review at some point? Length is not issue ... we love your videos!

[@PeterKotsa]

Cool, I will see what I can do in a future video...cheers

[@stevenkuan7787]

Pete, that Seiko bull head stands out in your collection. one more watch i can hunt for. thanks for sharing your passion with so many of us

[@PeterKotsa]

Thanks mate, and yes I agree that bullhead is superb 👍👍

[@aCrowsfeet]

I love the sky dome crystal on that turtle!

[@PeterKotsa]

Thanks Joshua

[@steveboston3792]

I like all of them, also nice choice of straps.

[@pol5561]

Nice one Peter i realy like the way you use the straps to change the look of watches ,shows a person who uses them and not someone who just buys them.Keep up and enjoy it cheers.

[@kaisnowbird]

Great collection. Thanks so much for sharing. Makes me want to buy another watch...

[@GFSwinger1693]

My nod goes to the 2503 Omega. I'm currently in search of a 2503.52 railmaster variant but finding a specimen in good shape with all the cards and the box takes a while. Once I secure one of those I'm going to hunt for the exact one you have. Great catch!

[@PeterKotsa]

Very nice Philip, I was also looking for the rail master variant back then and when this came up, I ouch no be happier. I hope you find a good one as they are a top unit and still excellent value when compared to current offerings today. cheers

[@frankkollar2278]

Nice collection I really love that S wave especially on the engineer bracelet not sure what it is but that particular piece really speaks to me Good to see it found a good home. Thanks for the video Cheers

[@PeterKotsa]

Thanks Frank, the S wave is very wearable and beautifully legible too 👍

[@DougE.phresh]

I also have a SARX069 really great classic design, I can't believe its not more popular, also the 80 hour power reserve is appreciated, great vid, keep it up !!

[@jh-il5sb]

i have that same watch and although it's a limited edition, it hasn't gotten much love. time will tell!

[@DougE.phresh]

@@jh-il5sbI really enjoy it, its nice to have a timing bezel that doesn't grab everyones attention when you use it, the bracelet could be better, but it is priced right I think

[@PeterKotsa]

Too many times we find ourselves purchasing watches that everyone else loves and are safe bets. This SeIko is a watch that is a sleeper that has not been noticed my many. Versatile, stunning looks, specs are great and wears superb. What more can we ask for? Enjoy these lads 😎👍

[@DougE.phresh]

@@PeterKotsa much agreed, I didn't waste much time once I discovered it, the nod to seikos history is cool as well
